Opening and closing windows via app
Windows equipped with this function can be opened and closed remotely via app. This requires the window to contain the Winkhaus activPilot Comfort PADM fitting system in addition to the wireless contact. The fitting drive motor controls the opening of the window.
In addition to standard swing opening, the innovative opening variant that Winkhaus calls 'clopening' can also be actuated. This involves the parallel positioning of the sash to the frame, leaving a 6 mm opening on all sides. When equipped in this manner, the window provides burglary protection (up to RC2) during the ventilation process. The sash can be closed back up from the clopened position on command. Because this process can also be programmed for user-independent ventilation, the system can be used as an alternative for ventilation systems in accordance with DIN 1946-6(confirmed by the Fraunhofer Institute).
Thanks to its innovative technology, the fitting drive sends an EnOcean wireless protocol. This means that the system can be integrated directly in Homeserver solutions like wibutler. The technology can thus be seamlessly networked with other intelligent systems, including air quality sensors for temperature or CO2. These sensors trigger ventilation whenever it is required. If desired, it can also open to parallel position by itself and close again automatically. In addition, the system can be actuated wirelessly with a hygrostat, e.g. from Gira: If the humidity in the air is too high, the window is “clopened” automatically. Thanks to suitable interfaces, the activPilot PADM fitting system can also be integrated into building control system, such as the heating regulation or alarm monitoring system.
